Vancouver, B.C. (May 8, 2017) – Joshua Jackson’s Liquid Media Group announced today that it has signed a three-year first-look deal with Canada’s Productivity Media Inc. (PMI).
The deal calls for a minimum of $50 million in productions per year for the next three years. Over the term of the agreement, PMI and Liquid Media will produce a minimum of five projects per year. “While audiences have identified with Joshua through his iconic roles over the years, he’s also exceptionally savvy with a keen eye for compelling projects and talent,” said William Santor, CEO, Productivity Media Inc. “We are thrilled to work with the
talented team at Liquid and grow our impressive roster of producers.”
Liquid Media with its extensive network of industry and international financial partners is poised to be a major player in global entertainment. Helmed by veteran industry executive Krysanne Katsoolis, Liquid Media is acquiring first class IP for production through its studio verticals.
“The partnership with Productivity Media is important for the growth of our slate,” said Joshua Jackson, Chairman, Liquid Media. “We are excited to collaborate on some great projects, and look forward to working closely with the Productivity Media team.”
“We are thrilled that Mr. Jackson chose to invest in his hometown by establishing Liquid Media Group”s headquarters here,” said Nancy Mott, Executive Director of the Vancouver Film & Media Centre. “Vancouver is a world-class film and TV service provider, and the increasing levels of IP development and investment are even more indicators of Vancouver’s continued growth as a global production centre. We look forward to seeing the results of this partnership.”
